ArchAngel Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Perhaps this was discussed but for the life of me i cant find it. OK i have a Saitek x 52 that worked well on win xp. I got rid of the old puter and bought a new one with win vista home premium. Now only the basic functions of the flight stick work even after i dl the drivers. I cant program any hat switches. Will BS have an option to program the switches? Again i apologize if this was mentioned before. Regards.

Prophet Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Is the LCD backlight on? I have noticed that if I change USB ports I get the same problem and the LCD isnt on. I just got to run the driver setup program again and it all works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchAngel Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 The lcd does not light up, only the buttons. I went to the saitex website and dl and deleted the drivers several times. I have the profile editor but I cant run the profile. In profile editor there is a profile icon located at the upper right corner. That icon is grey.

Shadow Berkut Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Not sure what the problem is with your setup, but I'm running Vista Ultimate and just got X52, not pro. All works well with BS, but I noticed that BS does not recognize shift+, alt+, ctrl+ commands. I programmed those through the game itself, but all works well. Try getting latest drivers from Saitek web site, I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudman Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) I take it you already tested the stick in vista control panel/game controllers? You should have the light controls for lcd and stick in there. Also testing. Edited December 7, 2008 by Cloudman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog 7.62 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Mine works fine, I use the SST programming software with it and BS, and I am running Vista. The SST software does fine with all the modifiers except [right shift], the only command that caused a issue for for me was the one for the landing light, and I just reassigned it to the right Windows key instead. I think either something has gone haywire in the stick or your driver is not installing properly. Did you run the driver setup with admin privileges?

ArchAngel Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 I'm not sure if I ran the driver with admin setup. Not sure how to do that. Not computer savvy. First guess is the driver is not installing properly. If you or anyone can pm me with inst I'd appreciate it. Regards.

Evilducky Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 do this.. restart the computer and get to a boot options *safe mode boot and stuff like that* one of them should be "start with digital drive signatures disabled" and start it that way. I have the same problem with mine and I have yet to get help from them about it. But that way seems to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog 7.62 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 All you need to do to install the driver with admin rights is to right click on it, and select "run as administrator" from the drop down menu. A lot of things in Vista do not install right unless they are installed that way. You should probably have installed BS the same way too, I know there have been posts from some people who did not and had problems with the install. HTH.

Tualatin Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 A other question to the Saitek Profile-Editor: I use the x52Pro and the latest Driver and Software of Saitek. In BlackShark there are keycommands like "right SHIFT + key". The problem is, that the Saiteksoftware does not accecpt the RSHIFT-Command, LSHIFT only works :joystick: Is it not possible to set the RSHIFT-Command in the Saitek Profile-Editor? Does anyone know a solution?

urze Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) Solution A: Remap the modifiers in the controller setup of BS to commands that the SST can understand. Solution B: Use only the ingame control configuration for mapping your HOTAS. after some "try and errors" you will see that he could be as "mighty" like a external program. Please use also the search function on this forum. It was already answered. Edit:Searched myself but didn't found it :P -but I can swear that I read it already somewhere... BTW- How sad it might sound: Don't except (a quick) support/fix from Saitek. Saitek was bought by Madcat last year and this didn't really helped to "enhance" their costumer support. I wrote them already some very polite mails - without response... ,but I didn't lost all hope up to now! Judge yourself: at their official customer support are since 2month threads that where started by spammers...

urze Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I knew I read something about that before: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=568719&postcount=13 Q: I am programming my HOTAS using the native profilers (i.e. not the Controls set-up in the game options) and I’m having problems adding commands with multiple keys (e.g. CTRL+C). The sim fails to recognize the modifier (i.e. CTRL). A: This is a bug in the game input system and will be corrected in the western release and a patch for the Russian release. We have provided a replacement file that should fix the issue. The replacement file has not been thoroughly tested and you will be installing it at your own risk. Before installing the replacement file, you should back-up the existing file located here: \...\bin\stable\NewInput.dll (376 Kb).

Prophet Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Just run the driver setup again. If the LCD is not on the drivers are not installed. If you are on Vista without UAC disabled, just rightclick on the driver exe file and choose to open as administrator. And go through the installation. Nothing else needs to be done, I have done this about a dozen times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
